The term "high traffic site" doesn't mean a thing when it comes to  
threads or the cache (or in general). It's way too general.  
Determinations about cache sizes or thread numbers can only be made  
with specific requirements, (estimated) traffic data, hardware  
specifications and knowledge about the Zope application in hand, period.

Less threads and bigger caches only make sense when you are under  
memory pressure and (hopefully) your pages render fast enough so that  
less threads can still satisfy the rendering load.
